Fisher AG-7 Space Pen | Thixotropic ink

This is the authentic Fisher AG-7 Space Pen that accompanied NASA astronauts on Apollo 11, the first manned space flight to the moon in 1969. The pen's thixotropic ink is sealed in a pressurized cartridge that enables it to write in temperatures from -30º F to 250º F, underwater, at any angle--even upside down--and, most importantly to astronauts, in zero gravity.

The pen has a chrome-plated brass barrel and a metal pocket clip. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of this historic space mission, the barrel is laser engraved with iconic images as well as the names of the Apollo 11 astronauts: Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins. The retractable pen has an ultra-hard tungsten carbide ball that writes a medium line in black ink and lasts up to three times longer than ordinary ballpoints.
